APTET - BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
1. The implementation of the Right of Children to free and compulsory education
(RTE) Act 2009 requires the recruitment of a large number of teachers across the
country in a time bound manner. In spite of the enormity of the task, it is desirable to
ensure that quality requirement for recruitment of teachers is not diluted at any cost.
It is therefore necessary to ensure that persons recruited as teachers possess the
essential aptitude and ability to meet the challenges of teaching at the Elementary
level Classes (I to VIII).
2. In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 23 of the RTE
Act, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) had vide Notification dated
23
rd
August, 2010 laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be eligible for
appointment as a teacher in classes I to VIII. It had been inter alia provided that one
of the essential qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher
in any of the schools referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is that
she/he should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the
appropriate Government in accordance with the Guidelines framed by the NCTE.
Accordingly, Government of Andhra Pradesh has issued guidelines for conducting
Teacher Eligibility Test in A.P. vide G.O.Ms. No. 51, School Education (SE.GENL-II)
Dept., Dated 16–04–2011. Subsequently, three more GOs. G.O.Ms.No. 70, School
Education (SE.GENL-II) Dept., Dated 06.06.2011 and G.O.Ms.No. 102, School
Education (SE.GENL-II) Dept., Dated 28.07.2011, G.O.Ms.No.256, Finance (SMPCI) Department, Dated: 08.12.2011 are issued.
3. The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to
be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under.
i. It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the
recruitment process;
ii. It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these
institutions to further improve their performance standards;
iii. It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government
lays special emphasis on teacher quality.4
